I have a pdf file generated from latex document in overleaf. Now I want the complete document to be editable so that someone can directly edit the pdf without the latex file. Is it possible to do it using overleaf or is there any other way out for it? Please help.

    PDF as a format is designed to make editing hard. some pdf editors can make limited changes, you don't need anything else from latex. But if you want an editable format are you sure you want to generate PDF at all? – David Carlisle Oct 25 '21 at 11:25

    As David Carlisle pointed out: PDF as a format is designed to make editing hard. But you can create fillable forms with LaTeX - Creating fillable PDFs. hyperref and eforms come to my mnd. – Ulrich Diez Oct 25 '21 at 12:14
  • Another option could probably be: Use the package attachfile2 for including the .tex-source of your document into the pdf-file. Then people can extract the .tex-file from the pdf-file, edit and afterwards compile it with LaTeX. But this workflow is not without LaTeX. :-( – Ulrich Diez Oct 25 '21 at 12:22
  • Open the pdf using ms word (2013 or later) – Simon Dispa Oct 25 '21 at 13:57
